Well, you'll be there, so there are at least some smart people there, and possibly many who, for one reason or another, didn't do well in the exams and decided to do the same as you - get the degree, use the curriculum to structure your studies, and get a high-quality education despite the college teaching.

Never forget: education and intelligence are note the same things.

Take a group of people, wherever it is, you'll find 80% of followers, 15% of innovators and 5% of geniuses impossible to follow :) The college is no exception, because of cost, accidents of life, etc. Even a genius can miss his way in studies...

Use this time to learn all you can, meet the important people and be the better in what you want to do. It will never be wasted time.

I never looked at it this way. That is an interesting perspective to think about it. I will definitely remember this.

Thanks a lot!
